The main underlying causes for the Gender Pay Gap are

1. Women are underrepresented in certain professions, sectors and on the upper end of the career ladder: Both horizontal and vertical segregation of the labour market along gender lines continues to be a reality;

2. Women interrupt their careers and reduce their working time for family reasons more frequently and for longer periods than men; and

3. Female-dominated professions are still undervalued in comparison to male-dominated professions.

4. Due to a lack of wage transparency unequal treatment often remains unseen.

5. Gender stereotypes still have an immense influence on career choices for both women and men.
